Traditional Irish foods, games, and raffles, these are the things you found if you attended Taft College’s ASB St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

The celebration was held on March 17th in the Conn Expo room in the cafeteria.

Traditional Irish dishes consisted of shepherd’s pie, Irish soda bread, red cabbage salad and a cereal bar treat that consisted of lucky charms, white chocolate drizzle, and pretzels. Candied pecans with local honey were prepared by Shoshana Kukuliev who is student trustee of ASB.
